For all freshman/sophomore-level courses in American Government.Politics in America uses Harold Laswell's classic definition of politics--"Who gets what, when, and how"--as a framework for presenting a clear, concise, and stimulating introduction to the American political system. Focusing on the millennial election year, Dye's lively and absorbing narrative examines the struggle for power--the participants, the stakes, the processes, and the institutional arena--and an abundance of feature boxes explore timely issues and opinions, draw cross-cultural comparisons, and introduce important people. One of the most well known political scientists, Tom Dye has written a balanced, and exceedingly readable text.
